Shawnino Posted December 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2019 We are due in on Marina in mid September (fairly typical 2x-overnight). Does anyone know if the O-class ships generally sidle up close to downtown, or do they need to dock on Vasilevsky Island with the larger, mass-market lines? Thanks.

The O class ships are too large to use the in town wharves such as the English Embankment. FWIW, I don't believe that St. Petersburg has been called Leningrad since the end of the Cold War. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbb Posted December 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Shawnino-- this will not pertain to you cruising into St P in September, but other cruisers should research when Navy Day is there. We were in St P in July and all the cruise ships, regardless of size were docked waaay out of town. The Russian Navy takes over downtown --as well as 'celebrating' sailors! Fireworks, parades, Mr. Putin's presence are all part of a big holiday there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marina will dock at the Marine Facade on Vasilevsky Island. The 2020 port schedule is not yet online but if you check back in a month or two, you can find the terminal and berth number for your ship. https://portspb.ru/en/Ships_Schedule We sailed on the Marina several years ago - great itinerary, wonderful cruise! We have another cruise visit planned for September 2020 - X this time rather than O. Hope you enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
